Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has been named the club's Player of the Season.

Benzema, who scooped the Pichichi Trophy as the Madridistas stormed to a 35th LaLiga title, has hit 44 goals in 45 games this season and was grateful to be presented with the prize.

"I'm very proud. It's been a really great season for me in terms of goals, assists and trophies and I feel really happy," he said.

“The key against Liverpool is to go out to win the game. It's a final against a very strong team but we are full of confidence because we're a really good side as well.

"We have to focus on our game and play as a unit, backed by our fans. We have loads of belief going into the game and we're going to show that out on the pitch."
